If you are approaching a bus displaying the school transport sign (V-10) on the rear, how should you proceed to ensure safety?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to reduce speed and stop if necessary. The V-10 sign indicates that the vehicle is engaged in school transport. Since children are vulnerable road users and may behave unpredictably (such as running across the road), traffic regulations require drivers to exercise extreme caution. This involves slowing down enough to be able to stop the vehicle immediately in case of any unforeseen event. It is not necessary to wait for the bus to move before proceeding, nor is flashing lights the primary safety measure required.
